Passion for creativity

KUM is a family-owned company founded in 1919 in Germany. With 100 years of history, it is the oldest pencil sharpener manufacturer in the world.

Although initially KUM only manufactured pencil sharpeners, over the years many other categories of stationery, art, and cosmetic items have been added. Currently, KUM’s range includes high-quality products with exceptional brushes for artists.

100% made in Germany, with the entire production process carried out internally, including our own molds to guarantee quality.

In addition, KUM is committed to sustainability, with sustainable products made from bio-plastic, wood, or Silva bio-fiber, and investment in many sustainable projects.
